My Jacks Open cabinet is ready for some spatter with black paint. I bought a spatter brush from Amazon, but I’m not sure what type of paint to use. The base coat is Krylon Fusion and the stripes will be to. I was thinking about using some black Americana paint. Will this work or should I use something else?

I used black lacquer.

It needs to be thin to get the right effect.

I just take the nozzle off of a krylon can. I learned this worked after a malfunction...

2 passes is enough. Practice on some cardboard to get the feel. Lay the side you are painting up and stand above it on a step stool. The higher up the better the spread
